Nertsery Rhymes is the first short film starring Ted Healy and his Stooges. It was a musical comedy released by MGM in 1933. The original script was eight pages long.
[edit] Plot
The Stooges are children and Ted Healy is the father. Unable to sleep, the Stooges ask Healy to tell them a bedtime story. He proceeds to tell them of the "Ride of Paul Revere" as well as the "Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe". Briefly steering away from the slapstick, there are two musical interludes pertaining to the stories.
